Already had his first touch with that knee all strapped up

 

[ghostdog]

Doesn't look to have lost any confidence. Moving well tonight which is encouraging.

This bloke had scans yet? Any word on the severity of the quad strain?

Ch 9 News last night said looking at a month out

For those that don't know, there's often a link between knee and quadricep injuries.

Another tick for our fitness staff.

See you in 2024, Jordan.

And often there is not as well. I get tight quads due to back issues.

 

[Happyskeret]

All these injuries gives me a sore head.

Good to see someone on the winners list.

Good to see someone on the winners list.

It's been 10 rounds between drinks for them, close to 2 years since I've seen a seniors win too...

Looked to me like it was the quad on the leg without the strapped knee. Perhaps he’s favouring it and that’s lead to some changes in load etc etc

 

[Keystone agony]

It was just an awkward kick ect that caused it, nothing to do with the knee

 

[mcgrath_truther]

what’s the worry is how it’ll effect his confidence with kicking. something as innocuous as that happening might be a worry for him

Imo he is not that confidence sort of player. The way he bounced back from concussion, played through injury and his consistent level of performance. He just gets on with it. I don’t think it will be in the back of his mind.

fingers crossed, he's too important to go missing

Was not innocuous

looked it to me, i suppose

Out for 'several weeks'. So season done, I reckon.
Edit: 4 - 6, so definitely done

Injury news: Ridley sidelined with quad injury

Gun defender ruled out.

www.essendonfc.com.au

Essendon defender Jordan Ridley will be sidelined for several weeks with a high-grade quad strain.

Ridley suffered the strain in the last quarter on Friday night and scan results this morning revealed the extent of the injury.

GM of Performance Daniel McPherson said the club remain hopeful Ridley will play a role in the Bombers end to the season.

“The scan results have revealed Jordan suffered a high-grade quad strain in a kicking action on Friday night and will be sidelined for the next few weeks. It’s disappointing for Rids who has been one of our most consistent players this season,” McPherson said.

“We’ll get a more accurate sense of his potential return to play timeline in the next week or so, but at this early stage we believe he is unlikely to play before the last round of the home and away season.”

The club will continue to provide updates as his rehabilitation progresses.

SEN reporting 4- 6, but either way I'd say that's it for him.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Back for finals should we make it otherwise season done you'd say.

The website article says he's unlikely to play before the final round of the season, so I suspect they'll shut him down unless we make finals and he's fit and ready for that

 

[citizen-erased]

Get Cox back
Lose Ridley

we need some form of sacrifice to the footy gods. feels they are still angered over the drugs stuff :S

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

were you drinking with your sister ( that you had to pick up from the airport)

I thought this was the start of a joke...
